There are two separate classifications for students in our system, 1) degree or certificate seeking, (ODB, Bible Institute) Students in this category have three years to complete all course work and, 2) community education, (ODB, Bible School) for the non-degree seeking student of which there is no time limit. Scholarship funds are only made available to the degree seeking student.

The costs vary dependent upon the degree that you are seeking and the programs that are offered by the schools. Generally there are three semesters per year and a total of thirty-six credits per year with an average cost of $12 per credit, which include the cost of books and study materials. Scholarships are available for up to 100% of the total cost of the tuition and books, depending on the applicant's financial situation.

Below are applications for admission to the school, recommendation statement of which there are two required, and application for financial aid as a part of the package that is usually sent through the mail to the applicant. It is important to fill in all the information. Please print a copy of these applications on your printer, and once completed mail to Our Daily Bread, Bible Institute, Admissions Office, P.O. Box 1934,  Redmond, OR 97756. Enclose the $30 application fee and we will send you two sets of tests, the first for placement and the second to help you discover your Spiritual gifts and calling. After examining these tests a school advisor will contact you, to perhaps make recommendations on your choice of career or course studies.

The only exception to the three-year degree course studies is the studies that call for a certificate of completion upon successful completion of the course study. Usually these are three-month study courses.
